Commissioners unveil proposed budget; schools fare well in $137.7 million document (relevance: 100%, date: May 6, 2026)
LOUISBURG -- Franklin County management presented a spending plan for 2026-27 that gives the school system what it asked for, doesn't raise taxes, provides employees with a raise, and lowers utility rates for low-water users.
County Manager Ryan Preble said the budget reflects months of careful planning, collaboration and decision-making.
"We worked diligently to balance fiscal responsibility with the growing needs of our community," Preble said, "prioritizing the retention of our dedicated workforce and making strategic investment in our facilities.

Oh, Just Taste It! (relevance: 48.7%, date: May 6, 2026)
ZEBULON -- "Taste the ice cream. Just taste it."
It's sort of the motto that Todd Ward tells anyone asking about Holly Creek Creamery, the micro dairy in southern Franklin County he runs with his wife, DeeDee, and his daughter, Victoria Brown.
"We want people to come, see where we are, taste the product," Ward said in the days leading up to this Sunday's Franklin County Women in Ag Local Foods Farm Tour.

HENDERSON -- Legislation that juggles incorporated land passed the Senate and was on the North Carolina House's calender last Wednesday.
The section that would have given Franklin County the authority to buy or condemn land from its neighbors -- without the approval of those leaders -- was removed from the bill, though.
